- The Yorkshire Dales is a paradise for walkers and nature lovers. With deep valleys, limestone cliffs, dramatic waterfalls, picturesque villages, and lush greenery, you have so many incredible options for your trip to the countryside.
In this video we will show you 12 examples of some of the amazing places you could go for a walk in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the bordering area of Nidderdale. Our suggestions are based on walks we have enjoyed on our own trips to the Yorkshire Dales. We have tried to keep the selection varied in terms of sights and landmarks so hopefully you will find something that appeals to you.

Love Yorkshire as much as the Cotswolds
I concur, I live in Yorkshire and I don't think I've missed a single gem , including the Yorkshire Moors. I take my caravan down to the Cotswolds EVERY year ( otherwise I get withdrawal symptoms )
Thankyou for a beautiful video of the Yorkshire Dales. I was born and grew up in Nelson, just over the border in Lancashire. I spent many days hiking, cycling and camping in the Dales. For the past 55 years I've lived in western Canada but the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales and, of course, the Lake District has always remained with me. I was last there in 2013 and I hope to return soon, but regrettably, my age may prevent it. But the memories will remain.
Thank you for sharing your memories Gil. It's a beautiful part kf the world, I do hope you are able to visit again. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Moving from Leeds to Japan soon and as lovely as Japan is, I'm really going to miss the dales. Been so lucky to live in Yorkshire for so many years.
Good luck with the move! 🙂
La verdad que sí, mucha suerte. Soy del norte de Argentina y creo que sólo en sueños llegaré a estar en Yorkshire 😢.
Es tan bello!!!
Suerte en tu nueva residencia 😊
Hangi. Ülke. Burası. Türkiye'den. Selam@@OurTravelPlace
Beautiful - we are so lucky to have the most loveliest countryside in the world ! ☺
Indeed we are! ❤ Thank you for watching 😊
And you're familiar with how many other countrysides to make a claim like that?
All of Western Europe is wonderful and beautiful.
Not so the people, but the geography is great.
I think people in Scotland,Wales and Ireland will very likely disagree wuth that
We are visiting the Yorkshire Dales for the first time tomorrow and I would just like to thank you for taking the time to make these utube videos. Have found your videos much more useful for planning our trip than some of the official sites. Please continue what you are doing you so get the balance right from history to informative information on the walks
Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment, it was a lovely one to read first thing on a Monday morning 😊 I hope you have a great trip to the Yorkshire Dales!
Fantastic guide.
Walks 1 - 9 alone make up a fantastic week of walking and so close to each other.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Spending a solid week doing all those walks sounds like a pretty great trip to me 🙂
That was great. Superb photography, and a lovely Yorkshire accent.
I'm glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
So beautiful and serene☺️😌😇
Fantastic video guys. My mother was born in Castle Bolton and lived in Hawes as a child. Since being a young child myself, I have travelled to Wensleydale at least once a year. You've expertly captured the magic of the Yorkshire Dales!
Thanks for your lovely comment! I bet that was a great part of the Dales to grow up in. We actually saw an exhibition on at the Dales museum in Hawes while we were there about schools in the upper dales from the 30s onwards and what it was like. There were some really interesting stories! Let us know if you have any favourite spots in Wensleydale that you would recommend visiting 🙂
What picturesque images on this road!
Seriously amazing place. What a location for a first walk of the year. Amazing! Loved those conditions - so atmospheric.
And watch out for them Wolves - you could just imagine a Wolf pack up there and not just the Cubs.
You two always make me chuckle. But that’s a seriously brilliant project to bag those top 30 👏👏👏
We are ENJOYING IT 😃
Great stuff - what a place!!
Great video. My children grew up going to all these places and so many more in the Dales and North Yorkshire. Along with the Durham Dales and Northumberland cost/National Park are for me the jewel in England's countryside.
Really well done videos! Perfect for planning a trip or just dreaming about Yorkshire ❤️🇬🇧
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Yorkshire is pretty dreamy! 😍
Glad to see this. I've been hoping you'd produce more videos.
Thanks so much, I hope you enjoyed it! We do have more videos filmed and ready for me to edit but my job is always crazy busy in the summer, which means it's taking me longer to get around to editing (not that we put videos out too frequently anyway 😅). Thank you for watching and commenting 😊
Great walks. I love the stone cottages of the Yorkshire villages. You’ve definitely whet our appetites for some walks in Yorkshire. Great work x
Thank you! Yes, the villages are so pretty ❤ I hope you enjoy your walks in Yorkshire! Thanks for watching 🙂
Amazing scenery. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep on stepping.
Thank you for watching 🙂
We were at the falls a few weeks ago. Had a wonderful time.
What a pleasant beauty of nature. Refreshing and perfect place unwind. Stay safe as always.
Oh yes, I do always feel relaxed after a trip out to the dales 🙂 Thanks for watching
this was fantastic and great commentory too, thank you for sharing this with us
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! 😃
Excellent video for some one like my self looking for places to explore in the Yorkshire Dales keep them coming
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! We don't post that often but will have more videos coming soon. We were in the dales again today actually 🙂 Thanks for watching!
What a great place to visit. So green and lush we can totally spend the day here.
It's such a beautiful area! 🙂
Great videos guys. I really enjoyed watching 😀
Thanks so much for the nice comment, we're glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙂
Brilliant Video..I m inspired to visit Yorkshire Dales .Thank you x
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 🙂
Such beautiful countryside - streams, waterfalls, meadows, villages! You do so well presenting the region with lots of information and recommendations. Well done, my friends 👍. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day 😀.
It's a beautiful area, we are very lucky to have it close by. Thanks for watching 🙂
My wife and I have just come back scenery is breathtaking love the place ❤
Brilliant, thanks.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! 😊
This is superb, I am going to Wesleydale tomorrow and this is just what i need!! Thak you.
Lovely, where in Wensleydale are you off to? Have a great time!
Fantastic video. Didn't want it to end! Must get my walking boots out 😃
Thank you, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Hope you get out on that walk soon 😄
Thank you..beautiful video
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great job on the Vlog. I subscribed!! Looking forward to more great Vogs.
Thank you, and welcome! 🙂
You are too, too modest... Your video making skills are impressive... You've caught all sorts of lovely sights (landscapes, wildflowers, birds, fish, a dragonfly, a resting bat (?), etc.), and you revealed a marvelous selection of places to visit. Very well done! Good of you to show off God's Country for the people who don't live nearby.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂 And good spot, that was a bat! Thanks for watching
Done the three peaks been to most of these. Love 💕 Yorkshire..
Nice one, I'm yet to attempt all three in one go! 😀
Ahhh, Yorkshire 😍
Gotta love Yorkshire! 😍
Thanka for sharing this ❤
It was fun to make, thanks for watching!
Great content, thanks. Ingleton Falls is awesome.
It is! 🙂
Just want to thank you for quite superb and inspiring video, how I miss home!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Yorkshire...Gods own county
mate on train from manc airport asked where we headed lady i acomp. said the dales he said aahh gods country shes been all over yorkshire me mostly dales says englands finest county her late husband was from old bramley leeds all gone now
Thank you! Found out my Yorkshire Great Great Grandparents were from Great Ayton, so I've appreciated Roseberry Topping.
Oh cool, we haven't been there but some friends were telling me just a couple of weeks ago about a Roseberry Topping walk they did that sounded good 🙂
lovely video, thank you
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
A flock of Birdwatchers, interesting - Certainly a beautiful part of Yorkshire - "Look, a flock of Birdwatchers flying high above our heads!" - First "If pigs could fly?" now this 🤗🤠
It absolutely is! ❤
Hey guys, you covered soo many lovely hikes in this video, we could plan a whole trip based on your suggestions.
I would also be excited to check out the creamery...and the oldest sweet shop!
Oh yes, gotta get some tasty food in after all that walking! Thanks for watching 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace of course we always enjoy your videos :)
Thank you! 😊
Great ideas for walks, excellent camera skills as well.👍😀
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching 🙂
Thank you very much, lovely video very useful for my next trip
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it! p.s. your username caught my eye because we just got back from an awesome trip to Spain! :)
@@OurTravelPlace As much as I would love to visit I think I'll be giving Spain a miss this year unless the ridiculous prices come down, unlikely they will I suppose. What part of Spain did you visit, I do literally love Spain.
I will keep my fingers crossed 🤞 but yes, I am also not optimistic about prices coming down any time soon. We went to Seville and Cordoba, have you been to either of those places?
Awesome informative vid. I've just come through the Dales in the van. Did 3 or 4 hikes, I'll definitely go back and do some of the ones you suggest.
Thanks very much! What hikes did you do? 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace I did a loop out of Lofthouse including the How Steam Gorge - that was really cool. One from Reeth (latest video on channel). Another from Appletreewick to Burnsall & back.
I'll look those up, thanks!
Realy enjoyed this and your use of mapps . I came to be aquanted in theise areas by the books snd old tv series all creatures great and dmall .
Lovly thankyou .
Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it and liked the maps! 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace your welcome
Wow, amazing place. New friend here
Thanks and welcome!
Great mini tour…..well done ….diolch yn fawr
Thank you! Glad you liked it 🙂
I would love to visit it
We will be in the UK for August and September and will spend a week in the Dales. Your videos are helping us navigate the walks, etc. we hope you’ll also pop over to our channel and give a watch.
Happy to hear the videos are helping you! I hope you have a great time in the dales, a week is a good amount of time. Sure, I'll check out your channel 🙂
The walk from Grassington up along the Dales Way to reveal Kilnsey Crag, then down through Conistone Dib is excellent. But beware of timing your return to Grassington: "Lov e Brownies" was the only cafe open as all the others closed at 3:30pm !?!
Thanks for the suggestion, we'll look that one up! 🙂
We're going to the Dales in August! Hopefully it's still green! Flying all the way from Seattle!
There should be plenty of green for you 🙂 Wow, Seattle! Where in the dales are you going? Hope you have a great trip!
@@OurTravelPlace thanks! I'm thinking of visiting Muker, Bolton Abbey, Grassington, Wensleydale, Malham, Druid's Temple, Brimham Rocks, Fountains Abbey, and Aysgarth. But maybe that's too much in 5 days, especially with 2 toddlers!
Hehe yes, a pretty ambitious itinerary! 😃 Some great options there though, I'm sure even if you don't manage them all you will have a fun time 🙂
@@frogsofindia Ingeleton falls is also a must see, along side your other great choices!🥾
@@relaxingwalks_uk Next time, maybe when the kids are older. We did see some other lovely falls though :) thanks!
Here’s a nice walk for you starting in Ripley village head to holly bank lane a nice walk that will take about two hours or so there’s the water fall to look at then head to see the blue bell’s in the woods
ooo lovely, just in time for spring, thank you for the recommendation! I've had a google and I think I've found the walk (or at least a very similar one): www.mypennines.co.uk/harrogate/walks/210412.html#sthash.GWxNc3sQ.JblHb69O.dpbs
@@OurTravelPlace yes it’s a nice walk you can either follow the park wall or keep going till you get to holly house cottage with a bit of luck you might see the deer in the park
Bonus deer - even better! Thanks 🙂
❤
This makes me proud to be from Yorkshire best county in the whole of England we have the most countryside
We are lucky here in Yorkshire!
Biggest town in West Yorkshire is Leeds, the second largest is called Bradford.
lesser known footpath hawes widdale appersett viaduct nice views towards buttertubs and down widdale beck to the village another heads up to snaizeholme where the red squirrel trail is now dcm hawes probably has fp routes if still open
Thank you for the recommendation, that sounds great! 😀
Hi, can we cover all these places in a day or two?
Do u recommend to follow the places geographically in a order u mentioned?
I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to do everything in a day or two...it's quite a large area. I think you could probably combine some of the locations in the same day, especially if you didn't do the full walking routes suggested (e.g you could stop off to see the ribblehead viaduct without doing a walk through the farmland or up whernside, or you could visit Hardraw Force without spending time in Hawes). I would pick whatever you like the look of most and then see if it's possible to combine with any of the other places. In the list I did work through them as though I was doing a loop around the dales, so that should help show which sights are closest to each other, if that makes sense! Most things I have included though are at least a half day activity. I hope you have a great trip to the dales, wherever you decide to go! 🙂
Hi, thank you for this video. Is it possible to do it all in 3 days coming from London by car?7
I don't think you can squeeze it all into 3 days. Hope you enjoy the spots you do decide to visit though! 😀
Wonderfull video! I notice you use both meters and feet measures (metric and imperial ) - is this common in UK?
Great question! I don't remember the context in which I used both in this video but generally in the UK we do mix metric and imperial... I know I flip between the two! So yeah I suppose you could hear either.
Filipe, we do mix them, we still use yards and miles on our roads. I understand metric and imperial measurements.
hey, thanks for the video! I plan on studying abroad in Leeds but I don't know how I will be able to get to these spots without a vehicle. Are motorbike rentals a thing in the area, or are there any clubs available that travel to these locations?
I don't know about motorbike rentals, but I wouldn't be surprised if your uni has a hiking society? If not then there are a lot of good walking spots that you can reach from Leeds using public transport, even if some of the ones on this list are tricky (you can reach some Dales spots though... take a look at the leeds - settle - carlisle train line 🙂 Check out other places close to Leeds for walks too like Ilkley and Otley)
@@OurTravelPlace Thanks!
Valley of desolation. The name couldn’t be further from the truth, and it’s where my ashes will be poured out one day. Blessed to have been born and grown up in North Yorkshire.
I know, I love how inappropriate the name is! I read it was named that after a big storm detroyed lots of trees and plants in the area, but now it seems like strange name for the place 😄 Thanks for watching
Am I right to say that a scene from LOTSW was shot on the viaduct?
Hmmm I think that's a different one - Thornton Viaduct?
@@OurTravelPlace Thank you, I was wrong, just looked it up and it was from the episode : Three men and a Mangle.
Could you recommend a useful map for all these walks please thank you.
Hi, If you check the video description I've just added links to the walks mentioned. I've been meaning to do that anyway so you've given me the nudge I needed! Hopefully whatever you're after is in there now 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace Thank you very much and appreciated. Your videos are excellent i find them very calming amidst the hustle and bustle of my life thank you.
@@donnalouise8268 Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoy them :) Thanks for watching!
Dal is actually the Danish word for valley.
I didn't know that, thanks for sharing 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace Your are welcome, in fact a lot a words in english come from danish, loft means the same thing in both danish and english.
Beautiful scenery. Also have some great walks on my channel
Robin Hood.
Prince of Thieves 1991.
Up there end of September but got an 81 year old with us. What ekse can you do if you cant do long walks?
I suppose it depends on how mobile they are and what sort of activities you are all interested in. And what part of the dales you will be. Some of the things in this video could be suitable, e.g. take a closer look at bolton abbey/fountains abbey. You won't necessarily walk much of the grounds but seeing the actual abbey could be doable. Maybe a potter around one of the small towns or villages? Or if you are still looking for a walk then the Yorkshire Dales website also has suggested walks that are under 2 miles without stiles that you can take a look at and see if they would suit www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/plan-your-visit/essential-information/access-for-all/miles-without-stiles/
Hope this helps 🤞🙂
Я один тут русский?
Нет
sad so many magnificent abbeys and churches in ruins in many parts of the English countryside. pagan ruins seem to be more appreciated.
yes I agree _ Henry 8th did a lot of destruction _ I live a mile from Fountains Abbey and it must have been magnificent when it was intact _ still impressive of course
People should to Brexit
Everything beautiful except the commentary rushing faster and faster. Did that young lady ever breath????
Ha yes, I only recently realised I naturally speak quickly. I'm making more of a conscious effort to slow down now (for youtube voice over anyway)!
